Fallout series

[Bob Barbas]

So Bethesda has been teasing a "fallout day" for the 23rd and fanboys were hyped about a big announcement. And you know what they got? More Fallout 76 content. That's it.

Billion dollar IP, successful TV show and all they can do is another live service update for an MMO hardly anyone plays.

I'm gonna be honest. I stopped giving a fuck about the lore a long time ago. It was already obvious Bethesda never gave two shits about the lore in their games just from the old Elder Scrolls games.
Like for instance in Arena and Daggerfall it's said that Cyrodiil was actually a jungle biome. Clearly that wasn't the case in Oblivion.
In Skyrim they basically removed all of the traditions that made the nords sound interesting in previous games.
Imperials as a race actually didn't even exist in older games, I could go on.
The point is Bethesda has never given two shits about lore.

All that to say one of the benefits of being a ghoul in 76 is going to be you have no hunger or thirst and when I heard that it reminded me of that completely retarded retcon.
The dumbest part is they basically retconned how ghouls function as a species just to justify how Billy or whatever the fuck his name was, the ghoul kid was able to survive trapped in that fridge for like two hundred years in Fallout 4.
And it's stuff like this that I can't help but bitch about because it's such a blatant contradiction it can't be ignored. The information that ghouls need to eat and drink to survive just like anyone else isn't even obscure information IT'S A DELIBERATE MORAL CHOICE IN FALLOUT 1! You're given the choice to either steal Necropolis' water chip for yourself to save Vault 13 and leave all the ghouls there to die of thirst or you repair their water pump first before taking the chip so that they still have water to drink.
If the ghouls didn't need to drink water they wouldn't have cared they would've just been like "Yeah sure buddy take the chip, we don't need that shit."
It's basically the biggest confirmation that Bethesda well and truly just does not care about lore.

They started to film the second season a couple of days ago.
There's no way they can equitably explain what the fuck is going on wit the lore.
It will be horrible mess but retard will eat it up because they brains cant contain a thought for more then a minute to proccess what they saw.

If you want to grasp at straws I don't think they ever mentioned shady sands in FNV

I doubt they will even explain why there are shady sands in the LA instead of Boneyard or what happened to other NCR states like Vault City that was basically annexed through the proxy war.
Hell they will never even look at magic anti-ghoul juice to attempt an explanation.

Ive always wondered why they repurposed football gear instead of making their own, how hard can it be to learn blacksmithing in the post-apocalypse?

 

[Bob Barbas]

Honestly the more I think about it, the more it makes the NCR seem extra incompetent that they couldn't wipe the floor with what are essentially a bunch of idiots wielding machetes and wearing old football gear which btw would definitely not stop bullets.

Like sure okay, the Legion has guns too but the implication to me is that they prefer melee weapons or thrown weapons and the NCR seems to exclusively use guns.
I know, suspension of disbelief and all that but the NCR must really fucking suck if they're struggling this much with these guys.

McCarran will get overrun by the Fiends, literal chems addicts with pool cues, during the Second Battle of Hoover Dam if you don't kill their Motor-runner and anyone other than the NCR wins the battle. They are beyond incompetent

they couldn't take on two seperate bands of raiders/drug addicts

couldnt be arsed. this simply takes less effort. besides, lots of already existing shit could just be repurposed anyway, so why not this

They did at least once, but I don’t blame you for missing it. I remember it being said during G.I. Blues.

It’s called the “original name” so maybe it’s not canonically called that anymore? I’m not sure.

Because in fallout 2 shady sands was called NCR

I can't say I relate with those NV fans on Reddit who claim to have sunk 1000 hours into the game but "never did a Legion run" . Seeing dialogue and events you were locked out of before has always been part of the fun of a role-playing game, personally. I appreciate that at the very least they aren't petitioning to have evil content removed for not being heckin wholesome.

I started out of curiosity, but didn't finish because of how utterly boring it is. While I would still have disliked them, I'm really disappointed that they're presented as this comically evil faction with barely any upsides. Thankfully, it's not as retarded and childish as comically evil Bethesda antagonists are, but still, I would have enjoyed it more if all four major factions were rather morally gray to varying degrees.

I noticed a new (?) trend of people shitting on honest hearts of all things, calling it racist or shitting on the characters. Is it over for us vegas chuds?

I fucking hate these retarded bitches littering in Joshua Graham tag. I came here to gawk at my husbando, not to read whatever this is.

muh lichral mishionaries

This person is an "it" and seems to be... imitating an accent? Idek

 

[Ser Prize]

Maybe I'm missing the point of this series but I've always liked it best when it's more 'remote'. Like the big factions and shit fighting can be interesting, but I find the plight of surviving a fucked up wasteland more inherently compelling.

Maybe that's why I love it when there are tribals.

"Most of them don't even speak English anymore - you got to get yourself a New Canaanite translator to talk to them."

Of course, because their regional language got mixed in with German from the European tourists who ended up stuck in the area because of the Great War.

Which is funny, because Europeans are white and progress-cult orthodoxy dictates that "racism against white people isnt real".

This is just painful. Say what you will about Orkspeak, but at least you don't see anyone doing it unironically. If I'm wrong about that, do NOT tell me. I'd prefer to remain content in my ignorance.

 

[Generic Anime Girl]

their regional language

it's navajo. the dead horses are literally from a rez (native slang for reservation)

Isn't Dead Horse Point rather far away from the Navajo Nation? If it is indeed Navajo, it is one that's been heavily influenced by other languages, as the Dead Horses aren't pure natives either

I might've misremembered, honestly. The Dead Horses' language is mixed from Navajo, English, and German:


While the White Legs speak like this:

I mean a mainly navajo tribe can move a couple hundred miles in couple hundred years i guess
